Commentary:

* Daytripper moves up into the #2 slot, and is #81 on the overall chart. DC/Vertigo must be very pleased with this book's performance in the bookstore market. (It trails only the 5th Wimpy kid volume, which is #61 on the overall chart, so not by much.)

* DC have plenty more to be pleased about: The release of the All-Star Superman animated direct-to-video movie has a halo effect, bringing the two collections back to the chart; and there are three Batman collections the top ten (I suspect that it is casting time for the new Dark Knight movie.)

* Meanwhile, Marvel place just one book this week, Nemesis, which sees a sizable drop to boot.

* Also seeing a surge this week are Dark Horse's Serenity comics, likely due to the Help Nathan Buy Firefly campaign on the Internet.

* No sooner do I declare that sales for Scott Pilgrim have moved away from the individual volume to the box set than the box set takes a plunge on the chart while the individual volumes surge.

* Debuting this week are pre-orders for the latest volumes of Scalped and Bleach.

* Dead Watch: Nine Walking Dead collections on the chart this week, same as last week though many of those take sizable drops. Vol 9, at #50 on the comics charts, is #2,674 overall.
